  abstract  = {As natural language processing research is growing and largely driven by the
	availability of data, we expanded research from news and small-scale dialog
	corpora to web and social media. User-generated data and crowdsourcing opened
	the door for investigating human language of various styles with more
	statistical power and real-world applications. In this position/survey paper, I
	will review and discuss seven language styles that I believe to be important
	and interesting to study: influential work in the past, challenges at the
	present, and potential impact for the future.},
